Kaniklides established "Partners In Logistics", a new enterprise that will be operating as a Logistics Services Provider (LSP) running their new DC and serving among else the entire supply chain of the group.
The new distribution center will be operational in September 2008 and is one of the first in Cyprus designed for the "Self-Support" technology, with a total area of 3,000 sq.m. and 6,000 pallet locations.
